Maude's grief and humiliation were
so real when she heard these details
that her uncle, thinking she would not
care TO remain where her story was
known, wisely suggested returning
home the following day.
1--WE can give a garden party or
something OF that Kind in honor of
your twenty-first birthday. 1t will be
few days after the event, but that
won't matter. 1 would give a good
deal TO see that young fortune-hunter's
face when he finds out how he has
been duped- There's no fear of his
tittle-tattling about it, though, for his
own sake, SO the story won't get all
over the town. L suppose, my dear, -
added Major Henderson, rather anx-
iously, you'll never let him again
find the way TO your kind little heart
with his honeyed wordsP"
Maude drew herself up TO her full
height mo, indeed. uncle, that /
never will. To use his own words, l

Before the year was out another
sultor asked for Maude's hand, and on
this occasion the anxious pleader did
not have any cause to complain of
Major HendersOn's obStinacy.

a PAINFUL SITUATION.
Missippie River Marriage and
Divorce.

At a landing below Baton Rouge
lbout thirty colored people came
aboard the boat. Among them was a
like young woman with whom one of
the colored roustaboujs at once fell in
love. We all noticed them making
eyes at each other during the after
noon, and finally a gentleman from
illinois said:
Il don't see any reason why they
shouldn't marry"
but have we clergyman aboardp"
queried another.
n third gentleman replied that we
had, and he went of and hunted up a
man wearing spectacles and a choker
and informed him that his services
would be required. The man from
Illinois went down to the colored wo-
man and asked II she thought the
roustabeut would make a good bus
band, and she replied III the affirma-
tive, lie went over to the man, and
he owned up that he was dead gone.
The couple were at once brought up
stairs to the cabin, and all the passen-
gers collected. We Clipped in a dollar
apiece, the clergyman gave his servi-
ces gratis, and the marriage ceremony
went on in good 8 yle. After every
ScN- 6bs AAAOuch NhO
happy couple some one inquired of the
groom what he was going to do.
'Dat'S what l doan' 'Zactly know"
he replied rs he stood with uncovered
head.
You have money enough to go to
housekeeping in New Orleans"
"Y es, but de ole woman would hunt
me out down dar.''
''Old womanP Your mother?"
mo, sab; my wifel I'Ze got a wife
an fo' chll'en in Vicksburg.''
at this the bride uttered yell, the
clergy man sank into the nearest chair,
and the silence became profound and
painful. We had gone and married
married man to young woman.
"'Twan'J my fault" said the
groom, as he jIngled our collection in
his pocket.
~ didn't know muffin bout It,"
added the bride as she walked out of
the cabin.
The preacher said nothing could be
done. but the captain took the groom
by the ear and remarked:
John Henry. you can keep the
money, but you let that woman alone. If
find you Speaking to her, I'll break
your back Move along now.'
And that was a Mississippi river
marriage and divorce.

n Machine Style.

When a man has written or spoken
constantly for years, and his calling has
been one of letters or law, it is an easy
= after for him to write or speak on
nearly any occasion. He writes without
an effort. His talk may be smooth and
easy, his composition pretty, but it is
not satisfactory to himslf generally. 1t
is too much like something he has
written or said SO often before to suit
him. The average writer and the av-
erage orator feels that he has got down
into sort Of machine style that he can
not get out of. He is impoverished sor
want of new words. new expressions,
new thoughts and new ideas.

The Herald does not think railroads
are an unmiXed evil, nor does it be-
lieve all railroad managers are q
grasping and conscienceless set, yet
does believe that concessions can and
should be made to the farming COM
munity. AT present prices. of farm
produce, the capital and labor en-
ployed in agriculture does not give
amy thing like adequate returns,
while railroad dividends are n con-
slant quantity, suffering little dimin-
Gation from year to year-save only
in ease Of total crop failure. The
INGREDIENT, professional man, banker,
and mechanic are crippled Ill business
by depressed prices of grain and
>tock-hut railroad capital demands
its cent. per cent just the same. And
not only so but the per cent. is Il large
one, If not upon the nominal capita
llzation, yet upon the actual bard
money invested i'll construction.
There is Il feature which is lost sight
of in the matter ofland grant roads,
like the Manitoba and Northern Pa
cific, which cuts both ways against
the people at large. Large areas of
land, of immense aggregate value,
were given outright to aid in con-
struction, and are held free from tax
alton, which is an evil wholly indie
fensible. These lands form a. part of
the security upon which loans are
foated and bonds issued, and the in
terest upon these bonds became a
part of the fixed charges of the road
to be paid from the transportation
tolls. Every dollar derived from the
sale of these lands ought to be so ex-
pended as to reduce rates. This pro
perty came from the people as a gift
or bonus to encourage railroad build
ing but it was not contemplated that
it should be a means Of increasing
the direct burdens of the people. To
ascertain the cost of the road, upon
which a fair per cent. fairly and justly
ought to be realized, the proceeds
from the sales of these lands should
be deducted from the money paid for
construction. No fairminded person
would object to a railroad making
net earning sufficient to warrant a
dividend commensurate with. -. the
business risks and sthe investment.
On this basis, transportation charges
could be very materially reduced.

The [3ustIing Man.

We know a man who is on the
keen jump all the while. He is al
ways in a hurry, but he never gets
there, as the saying is. This man is
poor as the day he first started, and
that is a good many years ago. His
energy superficial, and mere nervous
impulse it is not intellectualsactivity
supplemented by physical efforts, but
it is an uncomfortable desire to hurry
without any reason for it. He hurries
to his place of business, bursts in like
a bomb shell, scatters things right
and left, sets every one about him on
edge, and then hes out of the door as
If a mad dog was after him, and all
this to transact the ordinary business
of life. This man is too old to learn
new tricks now, but he might. stop
and consider awhile what all his fuss
amounts to.-Mechanical Engineer.

The forest lands ofthe United States
excluding Alaska, embrace SOC, OG0,-
900 acres, or % per cent of the entire
area. The farmers own about 38 per
cent ofthe forest ares, or some 1885,
0OO, 900 acres. The rest is owned by
railroad corporations, mine owners,
charcoal burners, tanneries, lumber
men and spectators. The farmers
are the most desirable class of owners
They know the value of their woods,
and devote time and thought to their
preservation. They wrought sad
havoc with the forests in earlier
days, when the ''c1earings" were
made, and when the trees had no
positive value and had no market.
Now they cherish their wood lands,
and add yearly millions of trees Tor
shelter and Identification, and for
subsequent profit to those who will
come after them. The farmers area
of forest is increasing in all the West

full as in the days of the Druids in
England, or of the classic deities of
Greece and Italy, and are put to much
better purpose.

Most people seem to have the idea
that the railroads are prohibited from
issuing passes by recent laws and that
the pass system has been abolished.
This is all a mistake, so far as this
state is concerned at least. The last
Minnesota Legislature fully recognize !
the pass system, and instead of maxi
ing efforts - abolish il, encouraged Il
and gave express permission for The
issuance of passes in unlimited num-
Der. This will explain why railway
favorites continue to travel free of
charge and why others I still
charged exorbiant passenger rates.

understanding on the subject we

that the people will see the day when
